-1 days? (or 17, without the overflow)

Twos complement (invert the bits then add one), so its -15 days.
Otherwise 00000 and 10000 would paradoxically both equal 0 and make bitwise equality checks very difficult.

It’s even worse considering that they only have five boards. They expect at least one accident every month

I work in the LTL freight industry, if we go 30 days without an accident or an injury we get a free BBQ day with unlimited food for everyone. We’re talking burgers, hotdogs, chilli, chowder, chips, drinks, etc. Sometimes they even do catering. Our last one they did Hawaiian Food for 2 days (they got too much) which definitely made everyone happy.
I’ve been there for almost 10 years, we average about 2 per year.
Edit to clarify: 2 BBQs per year. We’re really good as getting hurt.

What does LTL stand for ?

Less than truckload

Less than Truck Load
Basically if a company want to ship pallets of crap but they don’t have enough to justify using their own truck
Think TForce, YRC, Oak Harbor, FedEx Freight, etc.

Right. I’m not American though, so I don’t recognise any of those companies except for FedEx.

It’s a great way to save on number boards

Not so much on board space

They’ve never gone more than a month without an accident? Find a new work place immediately!

With a large enough workplace in the wrong industries it’s really easy to have something that could count against it.
I work in the LTL freight industry, we get quite a few.
